In a unique collaboration, PCC is partnering with the City of Portland, Oregon Health & Science University, and Portland State University to build a seven-story, 175,000-square-foot building in downtown Portland at Southwest Fourth Avenue and Montgomery Street. PCC’s dental programs and clinic will move from the Sylvania Campus to the third floor of this building (formerly known as the Fourth and Montgomery Building). The facility will also house the City’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability offices as well as classrooms for PSU’s College of Education and the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health.
The multiple-agency team leading this project is using the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model to maximize efficiency and value through early and ongoing open collaboration. A liaison from each partner is participating in the process, using IPD principles and tools to support the team and build on each other’s talents and expertise.
